The Kind of Reader I am

For the "What kind of Reader are You" quiz, I got that I am intterested in Speculative Fiction and Nonfiction. I believe that this is accurate because these two genres are a big part of what I mostly read.

The last thing I read that I enjoyed is the "The Hobbit" by J.R.R. Tolkien. It falls into the category of speculative fiction. This book is about Bilbo Baggins and his quest to find the treasure guarded by a dragon. He is pulled into this adventure by a wizard, Gandalf, and a group of dwarves. Throughout the book, Bilbo becomes more mature and eventually gains a sense of confidence with himself. I enjoyed reading this book because it is filled with a wonderful story and a great message. Also I enjoyed this book because the book can have many interpretations, like a literal interpretation on life and it's challenges.
